A little update on Monster for those who wonder. He’s doing just fine, the “bruise” faded quickly, as predicted, and he had no further hang ups with people at school. His second to last day was blissful, I think, because he was in a wonderful mood. His last day, however, was off I think because he was an absolute crank (he didn’t sleep well, he had to dress up for the 5th grade graduation ceremony and he was nervous) and slept a lot. He made an ass of himself that night by being downright rude to me and I nearly sent him straight to bed.
He did, however, make A/B honor roll! That’s a first since he’s been off aderol! He had only one C before, but he managed to make that C in math a B-! I’m so proud that we’re keeping that report card to show him when he feels like he can’t do it.
Onto the books.
I’m a huge reader. I’m so bookish it’s unnerving to a lot of people. I get a lot of comments that I’m “always reading” (what do you expect when I’m on idle for about 85% of the day?) and the book is usually big. It takes me anywhere from 1 to 3 days to read a book. If I’m desperate to stretch out the reading material because I’m on my last book and it’s a Monday, I’ll only read a little a day to make it stretch.
I love having a library card, I was so right about stretching my literary legs this summer. I was delighted to check out 5 books this last trip to the library, and I’ve cut my way through half already. I’d like to keep a reading list, because I think it will baffle me come August to see how much I’ve gotten through.
Thus, the new page.
Can’t you tell I’m absolutely bored here?
